Finish-itis

I'm so tempted to do another shawl post. "Day nine and still lovin it." But in reality, now that each row of the shawl is 400+ stitches, progress may not be blogworthy.

How about something completely different? Under the theme of finishing up some UFOs, I've been on a tote bag bender again.

Green Kaffe Fasset stripe, one of my favorite fabrics in years. And look at the lining! Does a happier fabric exist in this universe? This one is for my mom, and long overdue. She requested a subtle black print. Your wish is my command, m'lady. Pocket: This little red one is shorter and wider than my usual pattern, I modeled it after a Target bag that ends up being the one I use a lot for knitting projects. Now I just need to start a red sweater to match my bag....

These last two I just listed in the shop:You can see detail shots of them there. There's still a lot of good yarn over there too, so check it out!
